Description

View of Colorado Springs, El Paso County, C.O., 1882 / drawn & published by J. J. Stoner.

This panoramic print of Colorado Springs, Colorado was drawn by J. J. Stoner and published by Beck & Pauli Lith. Co. in 1882. Colorado Springs was established at the base of Pike’s Peak along Fountain Creek in the early 1870's as the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad built their railway line through that section of the Arkansas River Valley.

Colorado Springs, along with Colorado City and Manitou Springs became well known for their medicinal spring water, which attracted many visitors during the late 1800s.

Colorado City set into motion during the earlier gold rush days as a valuable mining supply town. The town served as the county seat until 1873, when it was removed to nearby Colorado Springs.

Manitou remains the trail gateway to Pike’s Peak.

The map, looking northwest, shows referenced mountain peaks, labeled streets, buildings and railroad route. A caption indicates Colorado Springs’ population to be 7,000 and its elevation at 5,975 feet above sea level in 1882.
